Jason Adkins, LCSW

Jason Adkins is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience helping people face hard moments. He asks straightforward questions and listens closely to understand what is wearing someone down. He focuses on making therapy useful rather than just talking about problems. In sessions he works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, and addictions. He also helps with relationship concerns, intimacy issues, parenting strain, and career stress. Jason brings practical methods that aim to reduce overwhelm and build clearer next steps. His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered ways of working. That means he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and practice small changes that add up. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are parts of his toolkit when they fit the person's goals. Jason has worked across many concerns over two decades. He pays attention to cultural factors and to issues like attachment, blended family dynamics, and non-monogamous relationships when relevant. He also supports people managing ADHD, mood disorders, and compassion fatigue. People who come to him often want practical steps, clearer communication, and help coping with life changes. He encourages collaboration on goals and checks progress along the way. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients; confirm current session options before booking.

How Jason blends approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed actions toward those values. It helps when people feel stuck by worries or avoidance and want a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and some stress-related issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the person’s lead and supports their own problem solving. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jason will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. He checks in on progress and adjusts the plan so the therapy stays focused on what helps most. Confirm the session formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, or let someone choose audio instead of video if that feels easier. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively over distance, and the therapist will talk through practical arrangements when you schedule.
